Ingredients
Scale
4 pork chops (bone in or boneless works)
olive oil
1 medium onion, sliced
4 cloves garlic, peeled
2 cups carrots, either baby carrots or rough chopped
1/2 cup white wine
1 cup chicken broth
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon dijon mustard
3 cups apples, rough chopped
1 spring thyme or 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1 bay leaf
Instructions
In an electric pressure cooker, use the saute function to brown the pork chops one or two at a time in olive oil. Season well on both sides. Remove from cooker and set aside.
If necessary, add more olive oil. Add the onion and garlic. Cook 1-2 minutes. Add the carrots and the white wine to deglaze the pan. Scrape all the brown bits from the bottom of the pan.
Add the chicken broth, balsamic vinegar, mustard, and apples. Stir well to combine. Add the thyme and a bay leaf.
Add the pork chops back to the pot, ensuring that some are at the bottom. Place the cover on the pressure cooker.
Cook on high pressure for 15 minutes and allow natural release for 15 minutes.
Serve and enjoy!
If desired, you can also use 1 tablespoon cornstarch + 1/4 cup water to thicken the sauce for gravy.
